Insert from equipment lists
This tool lists BOM data extracted from your equipment list and finds the
appropriate schematic symbol by querying the
schematic_lookup.mdb on
page 780. It inserts the schematic components at your pick point. Each line or
record in the equipment list represents a single entry into the Equipment in
dialog box for schematic component selection. The quantity for a selected
catalog number is not considered when inserting schematic components.
Insert components from equipment lists
Use this to annotate the selected schematic (or panel) component with the
panel footprint or equipment list data and insert it into the drawing.
NOTE This procedure uses schematic tools, but the same procedure can be done
using panel tools.
